Sally Anne test

Hi all. Do you know if this is used to test kids in their assessment? I read about it and did it with my 11 year old, just saying it was arest to see if she was creative or liked science. She failed the test. She then wanted me to ask everyone that was there to do it. Not wanting to make her suspicious  (we are waiting for an assessment so there has been no discussion about her possiblediagnosis).  I asked her sisters and they both said different to her, she then said oh, yeah it's basket (she said box) now I'm worried if they do the Sally Anne test in her assessment she will say what she thinks she should say, not what she actually thinks! Should I just tell who ever does her assessment what has happened?

  • Yes, I probably am a naive nt longman, I'm just an average parent doing her best for her daughter. That's why I posted the question about the Sally Anne test because I don't know how relevant this test is. That is what I presume this forum is for, to help people understand autism who have little or no experience of it. I am very grateful for all the help and advice I have received. 

    Yet, if I'm correctly interpretating your answer correctly (if I'm not apologies) your superior attitude doesn't help me at all! Like I said, I'm learning as I go and asking questions to be the best parent I can for my daughter. I don't feel I should be belittled as a naive neuro typical for doing so.
